Brief Project Summary:

The project's goal is to identify periods of soybean development when irrigation water can be withheld or curtailed in order to reduce seasonal irrigation application amounts, and to increase soybean yield potential and profitability by developing production systems that require up to 25% less irrigation water. This may be accomplished by determining: ptimum physiological period for initiating irrigation; critical physiological period for terminating irrigation, and growth stage(s) when deficit irrigation adversely affects yield and profitability.

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
